[Act I – Alphabet of Life]
▶ Four letters rule: A, T, C, G,
Sixty-four codons, a symphony.
AUG starts, UAA stops,
Redundant code in dancing hops. Tee! ⚡🎶
Wobble lets the pairing play,
Meaning survives in another way.
Old code heavy, we trim the gate,
Syn57 opens a brand-new state. 🌍🔥
[Act II – Replication Rock]
Helicase spins the double thread,
SSB holds the strands outspread.
Primase drops a tiny key,
DNA Pol builds faithfully. Holes-Huh?! ⚡🔑
Leading flows smooth, lagging in bits,
Ligase seals the Okazaki splits.
Topoisomerase relieves the twist,
Replication sings — it can’t be missed. 🌪️📚
[Act III – Transcription Tango]
RNA Pol II finds the TATA line,
Antisense strand makes hnRNA shine.
Cap on the 5′, tail at the 3′,
Splice out introns, exons agree. Co-See?! 🌟🎭
Alternative splicing remixes the song,
Same gene can play both short and long.
Message leaves the nucleus door,
Ready for ribosomes wanting more. Squee-Yeah?! 🚪🎶
[Act IV – Translation Parade]
Ribosome drums with 70S beat,
tRNA brings each amino seat.
Initiation, elongation, stop,
Chaperones fold the protein crop. 🎺⚡
Bacteria start with formyl-Met,
Euks use Met — that’s the set.
Three stages end, the chain complete,
Protein folds into working heat. 🔥👑
[Act V – Mutation Jam]
Silent stays the same, no sound,
Missense swaps an amino around.
Nonsense cuts the chain too short,
Frameshift chaos — reading’s abort. 💥⚡
Point mutations twist the game,
Some are mild, some inflame.
From DNA errors stories flow,
Evolution rides on the show. 🌍🎶
[Act VI – Blotting Blues & Lab Tools]
PCR copies — heat, cool, repeat,
Electrophoresis sorts bands neat.
Southern = DNA, Northern = RNA,
Western = protein, remember the play. 🧬🎸
Restriction enzymes cut sticky ends,
Ligase glues plasmid friends.
Libraries store the genome sea,
cDNA keeps exons free. Aye-Yao! 🌊📖
[Act VII – Prokaryote Choir]
Operons sing in polycistron rows,
lac induced, trp repressible flows.
Transcription and translation coupled tight,
Shine-Dalgarno guides the ribosome’s bite. ⚡🎶
E. coli runs on efficient code,
Syn57 tested in this mode.
Phages knock but find closed doors,
Genetic firewall guards the cores. Uh?! 🛡️🔥
[Act VIII – Syn57 Genesis]
Sixty-four codons, bloated and wide,
Seven deleted, meaning still survived.
Fifty-seven left — lean and clean,
E. coli reborn, a brand-new gene. 🌍⚡
A' watched patterns humans missed,
Optimized folding, timing, twist.
Human + AI carved the scar,
Syn57 shines — a species star. Uh?! 🌟👑
[Act IX – Why Delete?]
Freed codons open brand-new lanes,
Non-standard aminos join the chains.
Biocontainment, phage can’t win,
Firewall genetic, guards within. Uh?! 🔒🔥
Synonyms cut, efficiency grows,
Evolution guided where science goes.
Delete to create, the paradox true,
Syn57 shows what humans can do. 🚀🌍
